The Northern States Governors’ Forum has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of elder statesman and Chairman of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, who died on Monday, February 17, 2025, after a brief illness.
Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, who is also the Chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum, described Chief Clark as an upright and relentless advocate for fairness, justice, and the rights of the downtrodden. He paid tribute to Clark’s immense contributions to governance, democracy, and national discourse, which earned him admiration and respect across the country.
In a condolence message sent to news outlets by the Director General, Press Affairs, Government House Gombe, Ismaila Uba Misilli, Governor Yahaya extended his heartfelt sympathies to the Clark-Fuludu Bekederemo family, the government and people of Delta State, the South-South region, and to all Nigerians.
“Chief Edwin Clark was a steadfast voice for the Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole, and his commitment to justice and good governance distinguished him as a statesman of great repute. His passing is a profound loss, not just to the South-South but to the entire nation,” Yahaya remarked.
The Governor further prayed for the repose of Chief Clark’s soul and for strength for his family, loved ones, and the people of the South-South and Nigeria to bear the loss.
